#Touch ID

[hoidmadeittoearth]

no i actually hate face id and how theres no touch id and that the screen isnt RECTANGULAR.

and the home button is so convenient and the slide up thingy is hard bc with the button you just had to press twice to see windows but with this you have t slide up to the precise place to see windows

and i dont like face id cause i feel like ppl with similar faces could unlock my phone, and touch id is so much faster cause sometimes face id doesnt recognize you

i dont even have an iphone but i have a samsung with touch id and i cant live without it

I HATE THAT PHONE SCREENS ARE NO LONGER RECTANGULAR. BECAUSE WHAT DO YOU DO WITH SCREENSHOTS- DO THEY CROP OUT PARTS OR DO THEY SHOW PARTS YOU COULDNT SEE BEFORE. I NEED IT TO BE RECTANGULAR. PLSS

sorry

Face ID Vs. Touch ID

[bastionofbibliophiles]

Fun fact! In the United States, it is TOTALLY LEGAL for police to unlock your phone/device without your consent using your fingerprint or your face, but NOT LEGAL for them to force you to enter a passcode or pattern (unless they have a warrant from a judge).

Only reason I have fingerprint to unlock my photos app is because I never actually know what I have on there, you could either end up seeing recipes or the most vile thing you could’ve ever imagined in your entire life😞

3 features iPhone needs to steal back the show

Now that we are only 3 years away from the iPhone’s 20th anniversary, it’s easier to imagine what it will look like for its big birthday. The past few years have helped discard a few features that seemed more plausible just a few years ago. A futuristic iPhone. Image credit: ZONEofTECH At this point, it’s safe to assume that foldables won’t replace slab phones. That form factor will remain a…

If touch id doesn’t work on my phone I will keep going until it does. I will put in my password when it won’t let me keep trying, only to lock it and start trying again.

I MUST SHOW MY DOMINANCE OVER THIS INFERIOR PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY!!!!!

The Best HIDs for the Mac

HID stands for human interface device. This usually refers to keyboards and mice but can refer to anything that lets you provide inputs to a computing device.

I use the term HID rather than simply saying "keyboard and mouse" because the best HIDs for the Mac aren't a keyboard and mouse: The best HIDs for the Mac are a keyboard and trackpad.

The Mac has evolved a lot over the years, and so has its HIDs. There was a time where mice on the Mac only had a single clickable button in contrast to the PC's two: left mouse button and right mouse button.

I don't know if the Mac did this to differentiate itself from the PC or because Apple had done the hard work of researching to all hell mice and determined that an extra mouse button was superfluous. It might have been both.

While the Mac works very well with a variety of HIDs from third-parties, the best HIDs for the Mac are first-party HIDs, which is to say Apple HIDs.

The Best Keyboard for the Mac

While I enjoy a mechanical keyboard as much as the next nerd, the best keyboard for the Mac is one of the Magic Keyboards with Touch ID. There's a model with a Numeric Keypad and one without. Take your pick. I prefer the one with the Numeric Keypad because it has a Numeric Keypad but also because you can get it with black keys.

You can try to live your life without Touch ID, and while you might be able to accomplish much without it, Touch ID on a purchasable keyboard was a big deal for me when it came out. I had been waiting for Apple to create one for years as a Mac mini user, where BYOK (Bring your own keyboard) was the philosophy. This unlocks Apple Pay directly on your Mac without needing an iPhone or other device with biometrics (Face ID or Touch ID). Additionally and obviously: It lets you unlock your Mac or several applications that would normally require a password. Very cool.

The Best Mouse Trackpad for the Mac

We aren't going to talk about the Magic Mouse 2. And the reason why we aren't going to talk about it is because you can't charge it and use it at the same time, which is a ridiculous and indefensible design decision. Shame on you, Apple.

This leaves us with the Magic Trackpad. In 2024, it's technically the Magic Trackpad 2. The original Magic Trackpad was grey and took 2 x AA batteries and worked great. I liked it a lot; but the Magic Trackpad 2, while being rechargeable, also comes in Black, with a wider surface, feels silky smooth, and comes equipped with Force Touch, giving you more versatility in the input commands you can provide. Plus, as a flex: It has no moving parts. You aren't actually clicking it when you press down, it's just providing force feedback to simulate a click. Groovy.

I find it fascinating that an HID normally designed for laptops would make its way to the desktop and would become the best way to interact with your Mac. I supplement the functionality of the Magic Trackpad with the application BetterTouchTool, which lets you program additional gestures than those available in macOS. With the amount of gestures I can make on the Magic Trackpad, I never once feel like I'm less productive than with a mouse. I say this as someone who rocked a Logitech gaming mouse on the Mac for years specifically because I wanted to be able to do more with my HID. While I won't be gaming with the Magic Trackpad anytime soon (I think Minecraft was vaguely playable with it), I much prefer the touch and feel of the Magic Trackpad.
